Halloween Main Menu Backgrounds

[Gone]

I have a weak stomach and every single time Halloween or Full Moon comes around, I have to completely stop playing TF2 because I don't want to choose between immediately leaving the game or throwing up because Valve decided it would be cool to plaster pictures of zombies all over my big-screen monitor. So, I have two simple questions...

1. Is it possible to force TF2 to NOT show the Halloween backgrounds at all on my installation of the game?

2. If it is possible, how do I do it?

As far as I know it's not possible. Don't worry though a full moon if I remember only happens once a month.

Well, I have a mod that replaces the background with a custom one and disables characters. Right now the custom BGs are being overriden by the full moon over Double Cross, but I don't have any zombies.

I haven't tried it, but I'm pretty sure it'll work.

@Sonju,

Thanks, I'll download it and take a look at it.

EDIT:

Installed it, and it looks like it's working so far, but I tried a similar mod a couple days ago and it didn't work (and I now have the vanilla background which suggests that the Full Moon thing is finally over), so I'll have to wait another month to find out if I need to rage further on this or not. In any case, thank you for the link and the suggestion. I can at least enjoy TF2 again now. :)

@a.w.t1998,

I was beginning to worry that Valve might make some stupid move like that. I've tried several menu replacement mods and nothing has worked so far... ticks me off to no end. Like I said though, I'll try the one Sonju mentioned and see if it works.
